Lemmy never will be big enough without a change in thinking from the feudal nature to a more liberal democracy, alas.

    Can you expand a bit? What do you mean "feudal nature" and "liberal democracy"? Do you mean society as a whole or Lemmy in general?

    Yes I would be pleased to expand thank you for asking.

    Lemmy is a mini reddit, moderators own the space, like a feudal lord. To take off, as an alternative to the feudal spaces of big social media, we need to offer a better alternative.

    To that effect, a clear set of moderation rules would help, and for that set of rules to end in a jury trial of members.

    What I don't get with this federated software, Lemmy and Mastodon. It's ripe for essentially, server level verification of identity. And I don't mean check every ID of every user.

    But like, this threat talks about game communities. Some larger company, Microsoft, maybe even Valve with Steam, could easily run an instance, and have "official" forums this way. Any anyone on any instance can subscribe and visit. But that way you know that like, I dunno, lame.microsoft/halo is the proper community for Halo. Sure, there may be others, but it can become the place of record with announcements etc.

    Same for Mastodon stuff. But that would be more for individuals. But also stuff. Like you could have movie.studio/tom.cruise and it's verification that it's the proper Tom Cruise posting. That sort of thing.

    Plus, smaller communities have less potential burden from a few large accounts loading the system down.

    Etc.
